Heat Embossing and Watercoloring

Heat Embossing

You must be wondering if you landed on my blog ...since this card is in a style entirely different from my usual die cut laden creations!

I am challenging myself to try different styles + use craft supplies that are lying unused and unloved .
I made my card in purple to support Becca's Hop to Stop Domestic Violence Awareness campaign...I felt the global theme for the card was appropriate since Domestic Violence is an issue not just limited to one country but the whole globe

Heat Embossing

The beautiful golden globe is a stamp I got as a freebie with a craft magazine and this is the first time I inked it and heat embossed in gold! In keeping with the global travel theme I wanted the card to portray , I added a gorgeous bronze compass charm I had been hoarding for ages!

Stamped and heat embossed more clocks and gears on the other corner of the card and added a splattering of gold and silver sequins. The gorgeous sun sequin is also something I had been hoarding for ages...I confess I am a hoarder crafter and find it very difficult to "use" things!... trying hard to get out of that habit!

I followed the sketch from the W& W Challenge to make this card.. though I hardly ever make cards based on sketches; this time it was fun and liberating!

I had first stamped the images on white ivory card stock but it looked too dull so later decided to create a water colored background using seedless preserve distress ink

I love your gold embossing and that fabulous sun sequin. I would hoard that too but you've pick the perfect card to put it on. Very pretty. (If this is a second post, it is because I couldn't tell if the other one worked.:)

Well - it looks like great minds think alike! Gold and purple are so pretty together. Love the shimmery embossed elements and way to go using up some of those elements that have been lying around. Thank you for continuing to support the Hop to Stop!

Lovely creation dear..love the background color.. It's gorgeous with all the beautiful embossing! Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my endless card..you made my day :)Trying to create something for the hop to stop too..
